After hospital discharge for sepsis, the healthcare team should focus on identifying new functional, mental, and cognitive impairments and referring patients to appropriate treatment; reviewing and adjusting long-term medications; and evaluating for treatable conditions that commonly result in hospitalizations.

Patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit (ICU) undergoing mechanical ventilation and managed with adjunctive continuous hydrocortisone infusion, did not have a lower 90-day mortality compared to placebo.

Organ systems where bacterial infections predominate as well as fungal diseases were associated with substantial increases in magnitude among patients with both T1D and T2D, but risks were consistently higher for T1D.

Prospective studies are needed to determine the incidence of UTI in the NICU population without predisposing UTI factors when fluconazole prophylaxis is administered to examine whether routine urinalysis would still be justified.
